Sweet and Sour Pork for the Crockpot
I'm making this for a dinner party tonight. I read a recipe on www.allrecipes.com a few weeks ago that was no sugar added cherry pie filling over pork.
I decided to jazz up the cherry pie filling and make it into a sweet and sour sauce. I just had a little taste of the sauce and it is delicious, so I thought I would share.
Here's my recipe!
2 lbs pork tenderloin, cut into 8-4 oz. pieces.
3/4 lb bell peppers (red, green, yellow or orange or a combination)
1 can no sugar added cherry pie filling
1 small can crushed or tidbit pineapple in own juice, no sugar added
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 c vinegar
Spray slowcooker with nonstick cooking spray.
Cut peppers into large chunks, discarding white membranes and seeds. Place in bottom of crockpot.
Place pork on top of peppers.
Combine remaining ingredients in bowl. Pour over top of pork and peppers.
Cook on low 6-8 hours.

I recommend using green and/or yellow bell peppers for color contrast.
I'm serving this with brown rice for my dinner guests.
For dessert I'm making baked pears sitting in a cloud of Fage Total 0% greek yogurt mixed with some vanilla SF Davinci syrup. I just pour Diet 7-Up over the cored pears and sprinkle with a little cinnamon and then bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Yum yum!
Hope everyone is having a great day!
